Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] checkpatch: warn for use of %px 

Patch 1 and 2 are cleanup patches. Each adds a new subroutine to remove
duplicate code.

Patch 3: Make checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px. 

The initial idea to emit the warning was given on LKML by Andrew Morton,
v1 requested permission to use 'Suggested-by' tag. This version does not
add that tag.

thanks,
Tobin.

v2:
 - change new sub name stat_real() -> get_stat_real()
 - add new sub get_stat_here()
 - (add new sub routines as separate patches)
 - add 'Acked-by' tag for Joe
 - remove 'Suggested-by' tag for Andrew Morton

Tobin C. Harding (3):
  checkpatch: add sub routine get_stat_real()
  checkpatch: add sub routine get_stat_here()
  checkpatch: warn for use of %px
